  • On the Imminent Robot Uprising Yesterday (Tuesday, March 10, 2009) I gave a lecture at the SCSU Philosophy Department entitled, “On the Imminent Robot Uprising”. Sadly, it was not recorded (I must remember to not let that happen again) but here is a rough transcript, written in a very informal style. I tend to ad-lib a lot and [...]

  • A Brief Introduction to Social Media This post attempts to summarize some things about social media for the uninitiated. I will talk about social media in general, and focus on the different ways people use Twitter. Of course, other people have already done most of the footwork. Please check out this post by Fred Cavazza, paying particular attention to the [...]
